E30 Enthusiast my friend. Some may call it a sickness, I call it a passion.

All bulshit aside that dashboard looks awesome. If i was making a track car that would be the way yo go. Powder coat it wrinkle or go army camo or something

I didn't wanna say it, but I totally was thinking this very thought.

The oil pan is totally irrelevant at this point, who cares if he busted it or the towing company? There's nothing salvageable from that car at this point.

The engine appears that it would have been still good. Just new harness etc. The towing companies insurance would be liable for the cost of the engine plus installation. So $1200-1600. Thats pretty important if you ask me.

Sorry for your loss of a great car but the important things survived. I'm glad you and your girlfriend are OK.

Cheers,

Cars can be replaced but, people can't.

this in spades.

[Mlarsen]

Damn, props on keeping a level head and getting your g/f and yourself out without anybody getting hurt. Cars can be replaced but, people can't.

[trackjunkie21]

Holy fuck.

[krooks]

the roundels survived!

[ethrtyiS]

all the hard work, cursing, bullshit, time, and money was burned to ashes. grab yourself another rob, and i'll help you with another stroker. and mike and i did tell you that those tires needed changing. and you did say that you were only going to run for a very short while. regardless, glad you and your girl is fine.

[freeride53]

Holy fucking shit!
Burnt bottlecaps and the month sticker melted off.

glad you're okay mayne

so last night....i was taking the 90E 405N interchange, i was going around 50 MPH. in the middle of the turn my back end kicks out just a little bit... i drop the car in nuetral let off the accelerator and hold the wheel waiting for the car to grab the road. next thing i know. im spinning so fast i cant even see colors. sparks fly in the air. car stops. i immediately look out my gfs passenger window adn the window in covered in fire and its getting bigger by the second. i literally grab my seatbelt. pull with all the strength i could. and rip the seatbelt out of the buckle. and my gfs seat belt. jump out of the drivers door. grab my gf by arms and pull her out of the car. we run about 30 yards against traffic on the freeway onramp. see about 20 cars backed up. turned out to look at the car. and it was completely engulfed in flames. after all the LAPD and LAFD and done taking my statement. and give me a sobriety test. i go home and try and shake myself off from what had just happened. this morning i go to the towyard to pay what i owe and check out the car. and this is what i find; and they charged me $250 dollars. wtf!:

Sorry to hear about this man, I am glad you and your girl are ok. I bet that when the oil pan got damaged, the oil hit the tires and caused the initial slide.

[TexasTerp]

Glad to hear you're ok! That's some seriously scary stuff, worst I've seen in a long time.

To bad you don't have pics of the car before they towed it. Now it will be your word against theirs as to whether or not the oil pan was cracked prior to them moving it.
